In this paper we study the stability of queueing systems with impatient
customers and a single server operating under a FIFO (first-in-first-out)
discipline. We first give a sufficient condition for the existence of a
stationary workload in the case of impatience until the beginning of service.
We then provide a weaker condition of existence on an enriched probability
space using the theory of Anantharam et al. (1997), (1999). The case of
impatience until the end of service is also investigated.
